Doddery old man Paul McCartney has ticked another box on his 'list of things to ward off thinking about my inevitable demise' by forming a new band.

The band will consist of the 'Elaine Rugby' singer and "mates Dave and Krist" and are due to start practicing imminently in his garage. McCartney was quoted as saying he wants "to experiment with his normal musical output, maybe put out something grungey" in a recent interview with the band, at which point his bandmates shot each other worried looks. Unaware of their concern 'Macca' added to this, saying they had already written a song he tentatively titled 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and were working on a few more.

During one of McCartney's frequent toilet breaks during the interview, drummer and 'Nicest Man in Rock' Dave voiced concern over the 'Band On The Run' singer's current state of mind:

"It's strange, he keeps asking us where Courtney is and goes on and on about how the Beatles were such a big influence on his music." 

At this point bassist and exceedingly tall man Krist chimed in, saying "that last one gets really weird in interviews... Honestly I don't think he knows what's going on most of the time".

McCartney returned but soon had to leave, stating he "had to dash off to buy an ill-fitting cardigan before a meeting with Sub Pop Records".

A Christmas Miracle: Dave Grohl

On a dark winter's night in Warren, Ohio,
A baby was born, but he did not cry! Oh
For he learned to sing before he could talk,
The baby, Dave Grohl, the saviour of rock.

Anon, traditional folk song


The story of the end of Nirvana is well known, as is Dave Grohl's subsequent reincarnation and ascension to the 'Nicest Man in Rock'. For almost two decades we have enjoyed the nice music of the Foo Fighters with its predictable solidity and bland magnificence. But what of the great man's origins? Well maybe there is a Christmas story for us...
